nd Fret Intro: My friend, come stand beside me Lately, I'm feeling so lost A flood came and washed the stones of the path away And a hot sun turned the mud to dust Calling the sheep in for the evening There's a voice, calls above the howling wind It says, comes rest beside my little fire We'll ride out the storm that's coming in INTERLUDE: My friend, you know me and my family You've seen us wandering through these times You've seen us in weakness and in power You've seen us forgetful and unkind All that I want is one who knows me A kind hand on my face when I weep And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless For a little fire beside me when I sleep Instrumental:
